“If there’s no problem, let’s eat first.” Director Chen noticed that the atmosphere between Jiang Yu and Li Yue was not right, so he quickly called for everyone to eat.
“Okay!” The group of people cheered in agreement with Director Chen and began to eat.
Jiang Yu was like her usual way of eating, she would pick up a mouthful of food whenever she saw something she wanted to eat. If she didn’t want to eat, she would wait for others to finish picking up the food before turning the turntable away.
Li Yue stopped eating after a few bites and continued to watch Jiang Yu eat.
Jiang Yu noticed Li Yue’s gaze and asked as she picked up the food, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”
“There’s nothing.” Li Yue stared at Jiang Yu. “It’s just that from your expression, you seem very calm.”
“Oh?” Jiang Yu’s hand that was picking up the food paused and he turned to look at Li Yue. “What else? I can’t cry and eat, right?”
Li Yue choked, after a long while, she said, “I heard that a few days ago, someone placed some scary things at the door of your room in the middle of the night. I thought you would be very afraid, but in the end, when you were filming, your expression was the same as usual. Even when you are eating now, your expression is still the same as usual.”
“This matter has been over for a long time.” Jiang Yu continued to put food in her bowl. “I wasn’t afraid at that time, how could I be afraid now? Then my reflex arc would be too long, right?”
Li Yue paused and smiled. “That’s true. Forget it, let’s eat properly. I still have to catch up on my work later.”
Jiang Yu originally wanted to see what Li Yue wanted to do at today’s dinner, but until the end of the dinner, Li Yue didn’t do anything excessive.
But Jiang Yu didn’t let down her guard.
Perhaps it was because there were more people at today’s dinner, so Li Yue didn’t dare to make a move. But just because she didn’t make a move, it didn’t mean that she didn’t have such thoughts.
Jiang Yu still wanted to stay by Li Yue’s side to observe more, but Yuan Lai remembered sister Xia’s instructions. As soon as they finished eating, he came over and patted Jiang Yu’s shoulder. “We’re done eating, shall we go back?”
Jiang Yu looked at Yuan Lai and then at the few people at the dining table who were all drunk. She did not plan to stay any longer.
She stood up and said, “Alright, let’s go back.”
Yuan Lai nodded and said, “Let’s go.”
The two of them were about to leave when Xu Ye stood up and shouted, “Are you going back now? Let me send you off. Maybe it’s on the way.”
Just as Yuan Lai was about to agree, Jiang Yu immediately rejected him. “There’s no need. It’s not on the way.”
“Ah?” Yuan Lai was a little puzzled, but when he saw Jiang Yu’s determined gaze, he didn’t ask any further.
However, Xu Ye didn’t give up on the idea just because of Jiang Yu’s words. Instead, he stood up and walked in front of Jiang Yu. He said with a smile, “You have to tell me where it is before I know if it’s on the way or not.”
Jiang Yu raised her head and looked at Xu Ye. After a long time, she said, “I’ve eaten too much. I’m planning to take a walk. I don’t plan to take a car back.”
“Really? That’s too much of a coincidence. I’ve eaten too much and I’m also planning to take a walk. How about it? Let’s go together, Jiang Yu?” Xu Ye smiled and made up an excuse.
Jiang Yu had no solution to Xu Ye’s thick skin, so she ignored him and turned around to leave the room.
Yuan Lai quickly followed, while Xu Ye tidied his collar and followed.
Jiang Yu walked out of the hotel door and walked towards the road on the left.
Yuan Lai and Xu Ye didn’t say anything and just followed behind her.
“The three of us are walking together, don’t we have a topic to talk about?” Xu Ye stretched as he walked and also started a topic.
Yuan Lai wanted to say, “I have something to talk about with you,” but Jiang Yu was walking alone in front of him, so he didn’t dare to say anything.
Seeing that no one was talking to him, Xu Ye didn’t feel awkward, so he started another topic. “Yuan Lai, I see that you’re not young anymore. Do you have a girl that you like?”
Yuan Lai was stumped by the question. He never thought that this topic would extend to him.
“Why aren’t you talking?” Xu Ye looked at Yuan Lai with amusement. “Do you really have a girl that you like?”
“Not really…” Yuan Lai scratched his head, blushing. “I just think that this little girl is very cute and lively when she talks. That’s why I have a good impression of her…”
“Who is it?” Xu Ye’s curiosity was piqued. “Do you mind telling me?”
“I don’t mind if I do, but I’m not even close to that girl yet,” Yuan Lai said shyly, his voice a little soft. “Brother Xu Ye, do you think there will be a result between us?”
